Ice House Above Ground.

NJ. R.. Nelson. Ky.-The ice house
above ground is simply a bin with
double walls filled in with saw dust,
tan bark, or fine cut straw. The in
side measurement should be at least
ten feet each way and ten feet high.
The floor need not be doubled but
should not be fat on the ground, and
provision should be made for the
water to run of. A sloping floor is
best for this reason. The space be-
tween the wall should not be less
than twenty-four inches, but should
rest on the ground. A single
roof that will turn water is all that is
necessary. In filling, if ice is thick
saw or cut in square blocks and place
in house closely; if thin it is best to
break into small pieces as it is put in
and it will freeze into amass and keep
better. The ice should be covered
with sawdust six or eight inches, or
with foot of straw tramped down and
into the creyices at the sides. The
inside boards should be nailed to the
inside of the posts to resist the out
ward pressure of the ice. Farmer
